Question, so I'm turning the breeding pen into a grow out pen. The current littles are 2 weeks and 2 days old. Our highs have been in the low to high 80's and lows in the low to mid 70's (the occasional 69) with high humidity. They don't seem to be using their momma heating pad, beside to chill on top of it, do you think I can just remove it?

What are the expected low temps for the next two weeks?

Maybe 69 at the lowest, I moved them, no heat, but a nice huddle box

As long as they have a draft free area to huddle when it's around 69 they should be fine. I would have zero concerns at 3 weeks with those temps. I do baby them most for the first two weeks though. In the summertime I never keep them inside for more than 3 weeks.

Well woke up this morning and it's 65 (weatherman ) they do have a nice snug huddle box, going to go check on them before I leave for work and open their pop door.

They were all right as rain eager to get out They have really started feathering out fast in the last week and a half they've been outside. Next batch is due to hatch 5/22. Then I think I'm going to set a bunch of WTB and Favacauna/orp eggs and hatch some EE's.

Candled tonight (day 15) removed a chocolate that I thought was a quitter around day 10 and a bbs that I think quit right around the same time. Still have 2 chocolate, 5 bbs, 10 of my blue and black, and 2 favaucana/orp mixes. Very pleased

I’m having a hard time keeping the humidity up in my nr360. I do live in the Sonoran desert and we’re typically low humidity. At times , I’ve had to add water twice a day to keep it at 55%. Anyone else had these issues? I’ve tried closing the vent a little more but I can’t close it completely. I’m on day 18 for turkey eggs and I have two viable. I’m concerned about keeping humidity high during lockdown

I got in the habit of adding water twice a day too, topping it off in the morning and evening. I typically kept the humidity around 45% untill lockdown and then I increased it to 65%.
Humidity is a tool to aid in the appropriate weight loss for your eggs and then at lockdown it's increased slightly to help keep the membrane moist once the chicks externally pip.
Both A and B being filled should be plenty but if it's extremely dry where you and and you're concern about it not getting higher enough you can also add a wet sponge in the incubator. I don't think you'll need it though.
